Destiny 2’s 19th season, known as the “Season of the Seraph,” introduces exciting new content to Bungie’s popular shooter. Alongside a range of new weapons and armor, the season also brings back a familiar mechanic called Warmind Nodes, which haven’t been seen since the Season of the Warmind in 2018.
Warmind Nodes are hidden caches of loot that contain updated versions of the four classic IKELOS weapons from the Season of the Warmind. It’s worth seeking them out, as you’ll need these new IKELOS weapons to focus and eventually craft them in the H.E.L.M.
In this guide, we will explain how to collect and use Resonate Stems, acquire Override Codes, and locate the Warmind Nodes scattered across the Moon, Europa, and the mission “Operation: Seraph’s Shield.”
Resonate Stems

Resonate Stems can be earned from any activity in the game. For instance, you’ll receive two or three Stems per run from Crucible, Gambit, and Vanguard Ops activities. Once you have collected four Resonate Stems, you can combine them using the Resonance Amp to create an Override Frequency. The Resonance Amp includes the Resonate Stems and the Override Codes as part of a single item, so it won’t take up any additional space in your inventory.
Creating an Override Frequency will generate a four-word code that identifies the location you need to visit. These codes follow a consistent format: the first word indicates the planet, the second word denotes the loading area, and the last two words guide you towards the specific node. As you approach the node, your screen will glow orange, and you’ll hear old-fashioned music that grows stronger as you get closer. If you encounter any difficulties, we’ve provided detailed descriptions for each location below.
